    This document summarizes a nutrient omission pot trial experiment conducted to identify the key nutrients for corn growth. The experiment involved 15 pots labeled T0-T4 with different nutrient treatments. T0 received no fertilizer, T1 received a complete NPK fertilizer, and T2-T4 received different combinations of N, P and K nutrients. The corn was measured after 5 weeks, with T2 receiving the highest mean height of 78cm and T1 the lowest of 39cm. Figures 1-5 show the visual effects of each treatment. The conclusion is that the nutrient omission trial helps identify key plant nutrients and their impacts on growth.

    Nutrient Omission Pot Trial

    INTRODUCTION

    Nutrient omission pot trial is a technique used to identify the key nutrients for
    optimum growth and development in plant study of nutrition. It involves
    systematically removing essential elements from a plant's growing medium with the
    purpose of determining how this affects the plant's development, yield, and other
    characteristics. Outcomes benefit from determining which nutrients interact with one
    another and which ones are most crucial for plant growth.

    METHODOLOGY

    The students must prepare 15 pots and label each pot in accordance with
    the treatments. After labeling the pots, we proceed to the screen house, where we
    are going to add precisely 1 kg of soil. Each pot has three corn seeds planted. After
    1 week, we proceed to a screen house to add fertilizer in accordance with the
    treatments. In T0, we are not going to add fertilizer. Then T1 has a complete
    fertilizer, which is N, P, and K. In T2, we add P and K, while in T3, we add N and K.
    The last treatment is T4, to which we add N and P. We were going to collect data
    and observe every day after applying fertilizer.
    RESULT AND DISCUSSION

    Treatment Fertilizer/s added Amount Added

    T0 None None

    N: 4.24g

    T1 Urea, Solophos, Muriate of P: 4.88g


    Potash
    K: 1.63g

    Total: 10.75g

    P: 4.88g

    T2 Solophos and Muriate of K: 1.63g

    N: 4.24g

    T3 Urea and Muriate of Potash K: 1.63g

    Total: 5.87g

    N: 4.24g

    T4 Urea and Solophos P: 4.88g

    Total: 9.12g

    Mass of Fresh Soil per Pot – 2.25 kilograms

    Table 1: Plant height of corn 5 weeks after planting (WAP) under different treatment.

    Treatment Plant Height (cm)

    R1 R2 R3 Mean

    To 60 cm 48 cm 46 cm 51.33

    T1 NONE 36 cm 42 cm 39

    T2 79.8 cm 66 cm 87.1 cm 78

    T3 48cm 49 cm 50 cm 49

    T4 NONE 32.4 cm 56 cm 44.2

    Based on the table above, the data we gathered shows different heights of
    the corn leaves for each treatment. Also, each treatment has different symptoms. T0
    has a total mean of 51.33 for each replication. Followed by T1, which has the lowest
    total mean of 39 for each replication. The T2 has a higher mean, which is 77.63. T3
    got a total of 49 means for each replication. The last, T4, has a total of 44.2 means.
    The treatments have been applied to different fertilizers that provide them with
    specific nutrients, which are N, P, and K.

    Figure 1: Treatment 0 no fertilizer was applied.


    Figure 2: Treatment 1 applied complete
    fertilizer (N, P, and K).

    Figure 3: Treatment 2 applied potassium and


    phosphorus (P and K).
    Figure 4: Treatment 3 applied nitrogen
    and phosphorus (N and K).

    Figure 5: Treatment 4 applied nitrogen and


    potassium (N and P).
    CONCLUSION

    The nutrient omission pot trial is an important tool in the study of plant
    nutrition that enables scientists to recognize key plant nutrients as well as
    understand how they impact plant growth and development. The development of
    efficient fertilizer management strategies and increased crop productivity both benefit
    from this experiment.
